THE GLORIOUS 70 URTH.
II Successful Celebration of the
National Birfh1OU.

The Fourth of July was lovely day,
and host of people avaied themselves
of the celebration to turn out and enjoy
themselves, although the crowd was
not 80 great as on some former occa-
sions, through fear OF the measles,
The day was welcomed both at Grange
vile and Mt. Idaho by anvil salutes till
you couldn't rest. The procession was
larger than usual, and made quite an
the timber was delightful and the peo-
PIE seemed to enjoy inhalng the big
chunks of balmy lung tonic with which
the air was charged. After the prelm-
mary ceremonies and the reading of
the immortal Declaration of Independ-
ence by Miss Jessie Clarke, Hon. J. w.
Parker was introduced as the orator of
the day and made spirited address
upon appropriate themes. He was fol-
lowed by Hon. I. S. Weller, who dwelt
at length upon the manifold beauty and
fertility of Camas prairie and predicted
for it great and glorious future. His
speech was gemmed with flashes of
wit and merriment which greatly tick
led his audience. The intervals were
filled in with vocal and instrumental
music by the brass band and the glee
club, which have both attained high
degree of proficiency. The band in
particular did themselves proud on the
occasion. At the conclusion of these
exercises the people dispersed to their
several camps in the grateful shade of
the tall timber for refreshment, and an
old-fashioned basket picnic followed.
The groups were composed of as happy
crowd of mortals as we have seen in a
long time, and there was a quiet but
very general air of determination to
make it a day of perfect enjoyment,
and all succeeded. Nobody went hum
CRY and everybody wore a happy smile
and had a cheerful greeting for their
neighbors. The Swings and refresh
ment stands were literally patronised,
and the consumption of free lemonade
was simply immense.
AS the afternoon wore on and the
people awoke from their siesla, prepa-
rations were made for breaking up,
some going home and others proceed
ing to Grangeville to witness the fire.
works display in the evening. The>
balloon failed to rise. but the fireworks
gave general satisfaction, although it
was too light for them to be seen to the
hest advantage. The full moon shone
clear in the east, while the western hor-
lion was brilliant with the conjunction
of the planet Venus with the star Reg
Mus, a rare and beautiful sight. At
later hour sixty participated in the
dance and the elegant supper prepared
Tor the occasion by the Jersey House
folks. No accident or trouble occurred
throughout the day, save that some
renegade stole one of the lemonade
barrels ont of the creek the previous
night. The dirty little soul of this
abandoned wretch deserves to be tres
coed with the pigments of wrath. The
entire celebration is conceded to have
been large affair for SO small a COM
munity.

The Language of the Hen :.
Cincinnati Enquirer


No man will deny thdt the common
domestic fowl has a languages it IS evil
dent to the most casual observer. and
the examples are all familiar Take a
hen on warm day in spring and you
haar regular song as she wanders
about after food. If anything denotes
contentment this does. Now. let a fine,
fat grub appear. How quickly the tone
changes to short, quick series of notes,
IN answer to which the young brood
Scamper in her direction at headlOng
speed. The chivalrous rooster used the
same call to attract the attention of his
harem to some choice morsel.
If at this moment a hawk appears,
or some larger bird is noticed aloft, hear
the loud, prolonged warning that arises
from the rooster and some of the hensl
klere is just as much difference between
this and the call to the young to take
some food as there is between the SEN
fences: Hurry up! here's bug" and
, Look out for the hawk" and this is
exactly what the calls mean.
Compare the song" that we have
mentioned to the dismal croak heard
when you lift chicken up by the legs;
also to the sounds when a hen leaves
The nest after laying an egg. Then the
angry cluck when the brood is menaced
with danger, and it will be seen that all
theSe sounds have certain meaning
ana express emotions just as well as our
carefully selected words

SUBSCRIPTIONS :
Discoveries of the Present Century.
TCincinuati Fnouirar

Few great discoveries were made III
the first century of America Nothing
much had been brought out of our con
tinent before the time of Franklin but
furS. There were no reliable gold mines
in the country under colonial rule.
Hard coal was not considered fit to
burn until some time in the present
century, and all the anthracite wealth
of Pennsylvania and the great bitumin-
GUS coal fields have been developed in
comparatively recent times. Cotton
was of no account for a good while in
the history Of the country. Oil was
not found until our great civil war
was on top of us, and in the
very height of that war the oil
fever seemed to make the war itself
an Indifferent matter. AS long as
slavery stood up to be fought for no
phosphates were found in the Carolinas,
and the greatest result following the re-
bellion has probably been the applica-
ton of scientific manureS to our soils
Silver in Colorado has all been found
within very few years. The Comstock
lode, in Nevada, which for its period
produced more silver than any other
deposit known to man, was a develop
ment following the rebellion. klec-
tricity, in which the Americans have
been so fortunate, being provided by it
with common illuminating lamps, took
new start almost y hundred years
after the time Franklin was playing
with it. Now they are finding natural
gas in the western states and about the
foothills of the Allegheuies.
Alaska is the last region to tempt ex-
plorers, and, hard and cold as that
country is, it may become in American
hands the key to the north pole, and to
many other wonders. Since we &C
quired Alaska from the Russians the
fur seal robes have become known all
over the earth and yet those fur seal
islands might have been the property of
old John Jacob Astor in the first quarter
of our century, when he was attempting
to anticipate the Pacific railroad by a
line of posts from the Missouri river to
Puget sound
